first time changing compressor and don't have a compressor gauge to extract any air in tank. i am going to buy the refill cans an the oil can.saw a video stating both cans go into the same line. so i was wondering if the refill line is were i drain the tank or is there another location to do so,and if i can stick something in the valve stem an let the air spray out.

Good evening,

It is illegal to vent Freon to air as it damages the ozone layer. You need a recovery machine to remove the remaining Freon.

I need the VIN number so I can get the procedure for you. There are 4 different engines for this model.
